Impact of motorcycle’s driving behaviour on fuel consumption and emissions. (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kumar, R., Saleh, W., & Ocana, L. (2014, January). Impact of motorcycle’s driving behaviour on fuel consumption and emissions. Paper presented at 46th Annual UTSG Conference

Many studies have confirmed that driving behaviour has a great influence on petrol-fuelled than on diesel-fuelled vehicles. Depending on the type of road and vehicle technology, fuel consumption may increase by up to 40% for aggressive driving compar...

Design/methodology/approach – A proposed framework methodology for... Read More about A framework for accident reduction and risk identification and assessment in Saudi Arabia.

The role of contracts in achieving effective governance of intermodal terminals (2014)
Journal Article
Bergqvist, R., & Monios, J. (2014). The role of contracts in achieving effective governance of intermodal terminals. World review of intermodal transportation research, 5(1), 18. https://doi.org/10.1504/writr.2014.065040

Public sector actors often provide financial or planning support to intermodal terminal developments with the aim of achieving societal benefits through modal shift from road haulage to rail transport. Once operational, such terminals exhibit a varie... Read More about The role of contracts in achieving effective governance of intermodal terminals.

Link-based route choice considering risk aversion, disappointment and regret (2012)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fonzone, A., Schmoecker, J., Ma, J., & Fukuda, D. (2012). Link-based route choice considering risk aversion, disappointment and regret. In 91st Annual TRB Meeting online

In networks with uncertain link travel times route guidance information should consider traveller preferences (1). Risk-averse travellers prefer safer options but might feel unsatisfied if it turns out that their decision has been based on wrong expe...

The concepts of optimal strategy and hyperpath were introduced in the transport field under the paradigms of equilibrium and expected utility theory, which assume perfect rationality. The initial scope for hyperpaths was frequency-based transit assig... Read More about Bounded rationality in hyperpath assignment: the locally rational traveller model..

Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kettley, S., & Smyth, M. (2006, September). Plotting affect and premises for use in aesthetic interaction design: towards evaluation of the everyday. Presented at HCI Conference 2006

This short paper presents an experimental approach to the difficulty of evaluating interactive systems as artefacts for everyday life. The problem arises from the event-like nature of the user-centred evaluation session, as distinct from ‘being’ or t...
